But you can judge who is saved.

We are required to make a determination...

We test the spirits in prophecy. We don’t presume to judge another’s salvation.

That starving thief may have a better chance at it than a well-fed, very comfortable holy roller claiming the salvation.

That hooker on the street corner beaten and raped at 13 then thrown out of the house is probably more beloved than I am.

That nasty, gossipy old woman, dying and elderly left by everyone and everything in her life may have a better chance than I since she went through hell here and came out in one piece.

I wouldn’t judge. Have never judged. I don’t know their souls. I don’t know how many times they have cried out to God, “Help ME!!!” in the night. I don’t know how many times they have lived with resignation that somehow in some faith that they hold they will live and someday, God will provide.

I Do Not Know.

The only thing I can do is love them. If I judge them, I am no better than the Pharisees.
